Curtron PP-C-080-3490 Polar-Pro Swinging Doors
Thank you for choosing a Curtron quality product.
Your POLAR-PRO™ Swinging Door was manufactured to your specific cooler or
freezer doorway width and height. Although installation is not complicated,
you will need a helper. Do not use nails to attach the door panel brackets.
1/4” x 11/2” screws(6) and washers(6) are included.
CHECK YOUR ORDER
The thickness of your door jamb will determine which mounting method to use.
While standing inside the cooler or freezer, measure from the back of the
closed door to the inside wall surface. (See drawings below.)

INSIDE SURFACE MOUNTING
CAUTION:
Make sure that the door jamb is strong enough to support the weight and force
of the door. If questionable, check with cooler/freezer manufacturer.
Do not disassemble the PVC panel from the bracket or remove the hinge pin from
the mounting plate.
NOTE:
There is a Left and Right Door Panel, unless otherwise specified.
Place the right bracket mounting plate with the PVC panel attached, against
the inside right corner of the doorway opening.
Mark the 6 holes.
IMPORTANT:
The panel must be able to move freely beneath the door header and there
should be no gap between the door panel and the header. Remove the unit and
drill the holes.
NOTE:
A 5/ 32” drill bit should be used.
Finally, put each unit in place and screw down tightly to the interior wall
using the supplied 1/4” x 11/2” screws and washers.
IN-JAMB MOUNTING
CAUTION:
Make sure that the door jamb is strong enough to support the weight and
force of the door. If questionable, check with cooler/freezer manufacturer.
Do not disassemble the PVC panel from the bracket or remove the hinge pin from
the mounting plate.
NOTE:
There is a Left and Right Door Panel unless otherwise specified
First, remove the Wall Mounting Plate from the “U” Bracket. From inside the
cooler/freezer, measure 21/4” in at the very top of the jamb and place a mark.
Using a mason’s level, draw a straight plumb line 7” down from the mark.
Place the “U” Bracket, with the PVC panel
attached, against the jamb, touching the header and using the line to keep the
panel vertically straight. Mark the 4 holes. Remove the unit and drill the
holes. NOTE:
A 5/32” drill bit should be used.
Next, do the same procedure on the other side of the doorway opening. Finally,
put each bracket/panel in place and screw down tightly to the door jamb using
the supplied 1/4” x 11/2” screws and washers. 
WALL / IN-JAMB MOUNTING
This methods is primarily used for non-cooler/freezer doors
CAUTION:
Make sure that the door jamb is strong enough to support the weight and
force of the door. If questionable, check with cooler/freezer manufacturer.
Do not disassemble the PVC panel from the bracket or remove the hinge pin from
the mounting plate.
NOTE:
There is a Left and Right Door Panel unless otherwise specified. However,
when using this mounting method, the panels are reversed from Method #1.
Place the right Wall Mounting Plate with the PVC panel attached, against the
inside right corner of the doorway opening. Mark the 6 holes.
IMPORTANT:
The panel must be able to move freely beneath the door header and there should
be no gap between the door panel and the header.
Remove the unit and drill the holes.
NOTE:
A 5/ 32” drill bit should be used.
Finally, put each unit in place and screw down tight-ly to the interior wall
using the supplied 1/4” x 11/2” screws and washers. 
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
CENTERING
If the panels are not aligning at the center overlap, a simple adjustment can
be made.
Loosen (DO NOT REMOVE) the 2 adjusting nuts. By moving the adjustment plate to
one side or the other, it will force the panel to move in the opposite
direction.
i.e. Move the plate to the
right…the panel will go left. Once both panels are exactly perpendicular to
one another, tighten the adjustment nuts.
TENSION
If the door panels are not returning to a completely sealed position,
increased tension might be needed.
To tighten or loosen the cam
spring tension, first loosen the lock nut at the bottom of the mounting
bracket. Using an allen wrench, move the tension screw clockwise to tighten or
counterclockwise to loosen. Once the proper tension is determined, tighten the
locknut.
SEALING
If the door panels are too long, the PVC panel will buckle, allowing cold air
to escape. To remedy this, the bottom of the panel should be cut accordingly.
A clearance of 1/8” is recommended.
